The Panpsycast Philosophy Podcast

Episode 60, Albert Camus’ The Fall (Part I - Introduction)

Hello good sir! If you do not mind me saying, you look as if
you’re in limbo.

Lost? It might please you to know that most of the tourists, and
the locals for that matter, don’t know where they’re heading in
these parts.

If I could be so bold as to make an assessment, I would take you
for the sophisticated type but with a little bit of an edge? Your
smile says it all. Nothing wrong with indulging in the simple
things in life every now and then.

Do you see that bar over there? Yes, the one with the peculiar
name. Mexico City, here in Amsterdam. You’ll likely find one or two
characters in that place; the brute who runs the place for
instance. On a good night, you can end up in the type of
conversation which only drunken stranger can have – putting the
world to rights. On an even better night, you might learn something
about yourself.

Intrigued? I knew you were an adventurous sort the moment I lay
eyes on you. Enjoy your time here in Amsterdam. No better place in
the world for a bit of escapism! The only problem some have is not
being able to escape the thought of it after they visit! What? Oh,
I meant nothing by it. A slip of the tongue.

Before you leave, can I make one final suggestion? I’d take the
coat off if I were you. This place can get a lot hotter than limbo
if you catch my drift…
